Commentary: RIM value not in dollars but clean water, wildlife In the commentary “Time to truly reinvest in Minnesota” (The Land, March 18, Page 8A), the writer seems to think we need to turn the clock back to the land and water management styles of the ’70s. The intensive use of the landscape by industrial agriculture has created a massive amount of damage and degradation to wildlife, wildlife habitat, water quality and water quantity. Funny how we seem to have a 100- or 500-year flood every few years now. I’m a 58-year-old conservationist with 32 years of experience working with land and land owners in Renville County, Minn. Renville County is one of the most intensive agriculture counties in the state — No. 1 in corn production, 1 in sweet corn, 1 in sweet peas, 2 in soybeans and 4 in sugar beets. You get the point.
Our landscape is heavily drained with 98 percent of wetlands drained through 851 miles of drainage ditch and millions of miles of public and private tile which continues to grow each year. Ninety-nine percent of native prairie has been converted to cropland. Only about 4 percent of the land base is not in an agricultural use. Do you really think we need to farm more acres? Interestingly enough, Renville is also the No. 1 county in Reinvest in Minnesota easements. To some, making money is more important than making sure we have a sustainable source of clean water, good soils and adequate food supply. The RIM and Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program lands were a welcome addition to our office in helping to improve and protect our rich soils, and improve the quality of water that we send downstream. Conservation easements are perpetual as they should be. The environmental problems created
OPINION
by today’s farming methods are not going to go away, and the notion of paying for these programs over and over again has to stop. This land is not boxed up and sent to the moon — it is right there, protected, working to improve our natural resources that we are so fond of in Minnesota. Renville County has been and continues to be an example of how agriculture and conservation goals can be realized for the benefit of all residents of Minnesota. Farmers realize that farming on the scale they do has some negative impacts on both wildlife habitat and water quality. RIM has always been a popular and useful tool for the local Soil and Water Conservation District and landowners to improve wildlife habitat and protect water and water quality. When I first moved to Olivia, Minn., in 1979 the pheasant populations were next to zero due to massive losses of nesting habitat (grasslands/pastures) and winter cover (cattail wetlands). In 1985 the Conservation Reserve Program was created and in 1986 RIM was passed by the state legislature. That was the start to the recovery of the pheasant populations in Renville County. Since then our farmers have responded to the call to help clean up our waterways and improve wildlife habitat. Renville landowners have enrolled over 400 perpetual conservation easements, totaling nearly 16,000 acres of environmentally sensitive lands. Our wildlife populations are responding and our water quality is improving through this easement program. To protect our water and soil for future generations we need to be better stewards than we have been in the past. RIM conservation easements are a vital part of that stewardship. If in the future these lands are needed to grow food and fiber they will be more productive than they would if we continued to farm them for immediate profit and short-sighted gain. Conservation is the “wise use” of natural resources. Let’s be wise. ••• This commentary was submitted by Tom Kalahar, Renville County Soil and Water Conservation District.

Northey: Grants available to promote specialty crops Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey announced that the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship will make grants available to help enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops grown in Iowa. The IDALS is eligible to receive approximately $275,000 in grant funding through the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program which is run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service. This is the fourth of five Specialty Crop Block Grants authorized through the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008. “These funds are available to support food safety, research and marketing efforts that will encourage Iowans to choose the products that are produced right here in our state,” Northey said. “Specialty crops are a very important part of Iowa agriculture as they allow farmers to diversify and give customers access to locally grown products.” Iowa agencies, universities, institutions and producer, industry and community-based organizations are all eligible to apply for funding to enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops. In addition, single organizations, institutions and individuals are encouraged to participate as project partners. Grant awards will be considered up to a maximum of $24,000. Grant funds shall be used for projects that solely enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops that benefit the specialty crop industry as a whole and will not be awarded for projects that directly benefit a particular product or provide a profit to a single organization, institution or individual. “Specialty Crops” that are eligible under this program are fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits and horticulture and nursery crops, including floriculture. Proposals must be received by IDALS on or before 4 p.m. on May 13. For more information visit the IDALS Specialty Crop Block Grant program at the Department’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov/Horticulture_and_Farmers Markets/specialtyCropGrant.asp. ••• This article was submitted by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.

It’s a safe bet that before March 1, U.S. Department of Agriculture officials never heard of the Cattle Producers of Louisiana. It’s also a safe bet that by March 2, USDA bigwigs not only knew about the bayou ’boys, they also knew at least one of ’em could write a mean letter. FARM & FOOD FILE That letter, dated March 1 and sent to Secretary of AgriBy Alan Guebert culture Tom Vilsack, begins with a simple declarative sentence: “The Beef Checkoff is broken.” Dave Foster, CEO of the Louisiana group and the letter writer, goes on to note the “ethically dismal situation” between checkoff’s operator, the Cattlemen’s Beef Board, and its primary contractor, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. Making a bad situation worse, he adds, is that required government oversight of both “appear(s) to exist only as a concept rather than an operational reality.” The heart of the problem, Foster points out, is the 1996 merger that all but married the newly-formed Federation of State Beef Councils to the reformed NCBA. While the federation was deemed to be independent, its members — who control 50 cents of every beef checkoff dollar — have moved more and more to the NCBA’s side of the bed. Indeed, the NCBA is so open in its role at the federation that a March 21 NCBA press release trumpeted the recent election of New Mexico cow-calf producer Jane Frost, a member of the NCBA’s

Commentary: If ‘no new nukes’ wind won’t keep us warm The air over northeastern Japan is slightly radioactive — not at dangerous levels for people, but an indicator that higher levels might come. The newspapers in Japan and here are talking earnestly about failures in pressure vessels and falsified safety reporting, as they should. But now, a slightly hysterical Surgeon General of the United States is recommending that millions of U.S. residents buy iodide crystals to ward off potential thyroid cancer — from a nuclear event thousands of miles away. Four thousand people were on the site of the nuclear accident at Chernobyl in 1986; nine have died from thyroid cancer exposure. Greenpeace, under a heading of “No New Nukes” is trumpeting that “There is no such thing as a ‘safe’ dose of radiation ... If a meltdown were to occur, the accident could kill and injure tens of thousands of people.” This is a two-subject statement: • Obviously we are all exposed to safe levels of radiation every day; and many of us owe our lives to the tumor-destroying blessing of directed medical radiation. • There has never been a “meltdown” — the temperatures in a nuclear plant are about 550 F — the highest setting of your home oven. Lost in the discussion is this simple reality: These nuclear plants withstood a 9.0 earthquake — even greater than their design strength — with no reactor problems. But the diesel generators that backed
OPINION
We should immediately reopen work on the long-delayed storage facility at Yucca Mountain — so far blocked by activist lawsuits and a cowardly Congress. up the nukes’ electrical cooling systems were drowned by the tsunami. The huge wave knocked out the power grid for the entire region. Everybody agrees it is the water that’s boiled out of the spent waste pools that is the real radioactivity risk to the public — because the generators were knocked off line. The New York Times says one of the diesel generators was in the basement of the reactor building — where the tsunami waters quickly drowned it. At another plant, the generators were behind an 18-foot seawall, and the tsunami was 21 feet high. In 1990, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission identified diesel generator failure as one of the “most likely causes” of nuclear accidents from an external event. That report was cited in a 2004 statement by Japan’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, but apparently the folks at Tokyo Electric didn’t read it carefully. Now they face billions of dollars in losses to their reactors and billions more in lawsuit damages. Instead of a few thousand dollars to ensure their diesel generators were up high enough to protect against a tsunami — like on the roof of the adminis-
tration building. There’s another lesson here, too — for the United States and for Greenpeace. It is dangerous to keep spent fuel rods sitting around the reactor site, even when they’re protected by circulating water. We should immediately reopen work on the long-delayed storage faculty at Yucca Mountain — so far blocked by activist lawsuits and a cowardly Congress. Or, we could reprocess the spent fuel rods to recover much of the energy and keep the nuclear plants sustainable. Bottom line: How many thousands of people would die in a severe winter if Greenpeace’s favorite wind turbines don’t have any wind to turn them? Britain last winter got just 9 percent of the rated generating capacity of its huge wind turbine arrays. What kept Britons from literally freezing to death in their homes were the back-up fossil fuel plants that have to be kept in “spinning reserve” behind the erratic turbines. But the fossil backup required is why the wind turbines don’t reduce greenhouse emissions. And they provide no protection for the public from weather just cold enough to freeze ice in nearby ponds. If we won’t build nuclear plants we had better learn to love coal and oil to keep the lights on and the heat warming. ••• This commentary was submitted by Dennis Avery, a senior fellow for the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C., and the director for the Center for Global Food Issues.

FFA ‘Challenge’: Connect with your local farmers By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent The FFA, once known as the Future Farmers of America, has been in existence since 1928. It began as an organization for students, teachers and those in ag business to come together for agricultural education.
While there are over a half million students participating in FFA across all 50 states, the farming aspect is something that has changed over these past 83 years. In response, the FFA and Monsanto have developed a new program this year — the Chapter Challenge — to address the “need for more people to get involved in produc-
tion agriculture,” said Aimee Cramer, FFA Foundation director of stewardship. The Chapter Challenge is kicking off with a pilot program across seven states, including Minnesota and Iowa. According to an FFA press release, the goal of the program is to “reach out to their community’s farmers, learn about their operations, engage them and bond them with FFA.” The Chapter Challenge involves having a farmer confirm a local chapter’s participation with the farmer by either calling the FFA Chapter Challenge hotline or registering the information on the FFA website. The top 125 chapters will receive $1,500 in FFA credits. Monsanto is providing $225,000 in incentives for winning FFA chapters. The chapter with the most votes will win a trip to the 2011 FFA convention in Indianapolis for six students and one adviser. Minnesota, Iowa and the other states were chosen in part because of their “strong relationship with state (FFA) staff,” Cramer said. While only seven states were selected this year the goal is to “significantly expand next year.” It’s nothing new for the national organization to challenge its local chapters with friendly competition; FFA has an annual T-shirt contest where chapters receive a percentage of T-shirt sales. This challenge, however, gets chapters more involved in what’s going on in the fields and in the pastures of rural America.
One of those chapters up for the challenge is the LeRoy-Ostrander FFA chapter, located south of Rochester near the Iowa border, and lead by adviser Tiffany Timm. Her chapter decided to try a somewhat “tech-savvy” way to get farmers to participate in the program — they will be doing a “direct e-mail approach,” Timm said. While they would like to visit each farm in person, they have found that it is “hard to do face-to-face,” especially with planting season just around the corner. The LeRoy-Ostrander FFA chapter is hoping to use their contacts with alumni to not only reconnect with those who have served in the chapter, but also have the students learn more about what those farmers do now. The benefit of connecting with farmers in the community is two-fold, Timm said: it is a great way to find judges and coaches for FFA events, plus it is a wonderful way “for students to realize the assets in the community.” According to Timm, only about 40 percent of LeRoy-Ostrander chapter members are directly involved in farming, so learning about what happens on a farm may be new for many of them. “Definitely think it’s obtainable,” Timm said, when asked of the chances her chapter will be named one of the top 125. With a busy spring season ahead, Timm said the chapter has already begun working on the challenge. The deadline for farmers to conSee CHALLENGE, pg. 13A

said. “We think there are alternatives to get good teachers in front of our kids. And we think this measure which allows non-licensed but ‘real world’ experienced people in various occupational backgrounds to become classroom teachers is good for both students and school districts.” Early evidence from districts that have already added this new kind of faculty seems to strongly support the law. — James Grathwol was interviewed March 15 at the Minnesota State Capitol.

able force meets an irresistible object. “We’ll find out this session because we have a governor pledged to raising taxes and a legislature saying ‘no we won’t.’ Much of what we do in education costs money. Education is the No. 1 expense of the state,” Grathwol said, suggesting some give-and-take is inevitable. Because of finances and declining enrollment, several schools within the MSD are targeted to be shut down. He admitted that competition from charter schools is part of the challenge but so, too, is access capacity. He noted that in 1967 the MSD had 78,000 students versus 33,000 today. In the 1990s because of a surge of immigrants moving into the Twin Cities, the MSD was building new schools. “But it seems any school has a life cycle because of its continuously changing population base. So today we have surplus physical capacity but the makeup of our student body has changed dramatically. In 50 years the district changed from primarily white to students of color and low income, plus a growing proportion of immigrant, non-English speaking students and a very significant number of special-ed students,” Grathwol said. Several rural Minnesota school districts are either already into four-day school weeks or considering the issue as a way to trim transportation costs
and remedy their overall financial situation. Does he foresee this happening in the bigger metropolitan districts? “I don’t think so and I’m not sure it’s advisable. We’re asking the public schools to do more than they have ever done before; to educate more children to higher standards; in essence to make all our students ‘college-ready.’ And I don’t think you do that with fewer resources.” “Alternative Licensure,” new legislation already signed by the governor, was strongly endorsed by the Minneapolis School District, Grathwol

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer “We hope to do good and avoid evil in any legislative session,” according James Grathwol, district lobbyist for Minneapolis Public Schools. In more precise terms, Grathwol explained that his function as a registered lobbyist is either chasing policy or chasing dollars. “Which means that during the 2011 Legislative session I am in close contact with both finance and education policy committees of both houses. “Right now the House is advancing a proposal that would support vouchers for private and charter schools for Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth. That potentially could have significant impact on the Minneapolis School District,” Grathwol said. With about 33,000 students, the MSD is the largest district in the state. He mentioned various reform proposals of public education on this year’s Legislative agenda such as tenure and teacher evaluation. “These are examples of policy changes that you need to be aware of. Are they well constructed? Will they actually improve public education?” Grathwol asked. He indicated the delicate issue of “quality pay for quality education” appears to be gaining favor both with public school administrators and with this year’s Minnesota legislative body. He related it to former Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s “Q Comp” program. The MSD is a participant in this effort which links teacher performance with evaluations that demonstrate teaching effectiveness and resulting compensation. “There’s a bill in this assembly that would make that a statewide program.” Will it happen? At this March 15 interview, Grathwol merely said it’s too soon to tell. However he compared the situation to that theoretical question of what happens when an immov-

FFA 85-86: Even without success, you benefit from process Secretary: Kim Strege Kazemba Back when Kim Kazemba was Kim Strege, FFA stood for Future Farmers of America. Kazemba became one of those “future” farmers, and still makes her living that way, farming near Round Lake, Minn., and Watertown, S.D. As a Nicollet High School freshman in the early-1980s, it still wasn’t too common for girls to belong to FFA, but that didn’t stop Kim from taking that step. “My dad (Howard) had been an ag teacher, though he quit teaching when I was a baby,” she said. “He still had an appreciation for agriculture and FFA.” Kazemba saw that her brother was enthusiastic about farming while in FFA, plus “there was also the opportunity to earn money for college” with FFA projects. Robin Schwieger advised an active chapter at Nicollet High School back in those days, “he encouraged us … he tried to give different experiences to the kids.” Kazemba took full advantage of those opportunities by competing in meat judging, livestock judging, public speaking and job interviews. Then, of course, there were the leadership opportunities.
With Schwieger’s encouragement, Kazemba worked her way through the chapter and district offices, and then set her sights on a state office. “It was a goal I had hoped to achieve at that point,” she said. “Even if you don’t achieve, you benefit from going through the process.” Kazemba got that state office on her first run, while a freshman at the University of Minnesota. She believes that she is still the only state officer to come out of Nicollet High School. Kazemba remembers that year as state officer as a whirlwind, but very rewarding. “I knew of some of them (fellow state officers) before we became a team, but didn’t really know them. You definitely get to know them that year as state officers.” As a child she remembers not really being sure what she wanted to do or where she wanted to go to school, but FFA involvement changed all that. Visiting the U of M St. Paul campus during state FFA convention got her to thinking about attending there. “FFA gets you thinking about setting goals and working toward a profession,” she said. “I wanted to be in the ag profession, but didn’t know that I would be in production agriculture. When I met and mar-
ried a farmer I was very happy.” Kim and her husband, Jim, both majored in agronomy at the U of M, though Kim was only a few credits short of graduating. She may have never graduated, but she hasn’t stopped learning. “With farming you’re learning all the time.” Kim and Jim raise corn and soybeans, as well a few cattle for their own use, as well as 4-H livestock for their children. And do they have children — one boy and seven girls, ranging from age 2 to 18. “We’ve had the wonderful opportunity to raise children in agriculture,” Kim said. Kim is comfortable with large families; her parents, Howard and Muriel had nine children. Her FFA experiences, including those on the state officer team, have served her well over the years. “FFA teaches you to work hard, and work as a team, and how to keep good records,” she said. “Bookkeeping in FFA is one very valuable asset that will carry through, regardless what you do with your life.” As the Kazemba children grow, Kim will be right there, preaching the importance of agriculture and the strength and benefits of the FFA. — Kevin Schulz, The Land editor
FFA 85-86: ‘FFA taught me to help other people’ help them reduce their stress.” The ideal client of The Harder Group is five to 10 years from retirement, owner of a business or senior executive of a business and married with children and probably adult children. The Harder Group had been headquartered at Mountain Lake, but then about four years ago Dean and Jackie got the “nudge to move. We asked ourselves, did we want to be in Mountain Lake the rest of our life?” Their oldest son, Andrew, now 18, suggested the family visit the short list of cities where the family would like to relocate. The family decided to visit Indianapolis over Easter 2009, where there is a pocket of Harder clients. “On the way home we decided that we weren’t moving; it would be too much work. ... Fast forward one month and I talked to a guy I respected and he told me we had no good reason not to move.” An Indianapolis company that Harder had been training for caught wind of the Harder family move and “they said we’ll send people here to you to train them.” “In the business world, I’m very successful, but that doesn’t matter,” he said. The five years Harder spent at the Courage Center “I went from wanting to make money, to ‘I want to help people.” While Dean is helping people, Jackie is a stay-athome mom, a high school track coach and “an extraordinary volunteer.” In addition to Andrew, Dean and Jackie are also See HARDER, pg. 16A

“In 1994, my dad needed a kidney, and I was a match, so I gave my dad a kidney,” Harder said. Don Harder, Dean’s father, was forced to quit farming and he said “Greg (older brother) was going back to school and that if I wanted to farm, I could.” When he graduated from high school, the younger Harder didn’t think there would ever be a chance to farm, since older brothers Greg and Phil were working with Don on the farm. “Jackie and I talked it over and decided that we should come back to the farm,” he said. They moved back to Mountain Lake in 1995, and farmed until 1997 when Don Harder passed away. “We then left the farm, not knowing what I’d do. ... Going back to the farm was still a great decision. It gave me 2 1/2 years of time to spend with Dad.” Dean’s mother, Carol W. Harder, still lives in Mountain Lake. Still, the younger Harder didn’t know what he would do, but he knew that he “didn’t want to work for someone.” With that in mind, he got hooked up with Ron Harder, a shirttail relative and “mentor of mine.” Ron Harder was in the insurance business “and I thought I’d give it a whirl.” That “whirl” turned into a career for Dean Harder. “By the way I was trained, I just love it (selling life insurance).” In 2001, he developed an international practice of consulting with people on financial matters, and though he doesn’t like labels, he feels a “financial engineer” is a good label for what he does. His career motivation comes from something he learned in his FFA days all those years ago. “FFA taught me to help other people get what they want;

HARDER, from pg. 1A Pierson was the president of the 1983-84 state officer team, while Buschette was reporter on the 1984-85 team. “I did not get into FFA to be state president, but then I just started developing” that leadership drive, he said. Harder’s FFA leadership wasn’t over after his one year in the Minnesota FFA top office. “(National FFA President) Steve Meredith was at the state fair for five days, and I was able to spend a lot of time with him, then he encouraged me to run for national office.” Only the second time that Harder attended the national FFA convention was as a national officer candidate, and it was a worthwhile trip, as he was chosen to serve as the central region vice president for 1986-87. Having spent time at the state and national levels as an FFA officer, Harder said both offered “such unique opportunities,” but at the “state level you got to know students and advisers on a much more intimate level. ... it was much more impersonal as a national officer.” After coming down from the high as national officer, Harder tried to meld back in to “normal” life. “When you get done being a national officer, it’s like getting voted off and ‘OK, now what do I do?’ For a year you’re not in the real world.” After completing his national FFA term, Harder returned to the U of M to graduate with an ag education degree and an ag economics minor. Putting that degree to work, Harder taught ag education at Marshall (Minn.) High School in the 1989-90 school year. He also got engaged to Jackie during that year, and moved back to the Minneapolis area. Dean worked at the Courage Center for five years. They were content living in the metro area, but then family obligations came calling.

FFA 85-86: From European Union back to the Heartland Vice President: Anne Henkels Straus Anne Henkels’ parents, Greg and Celia, encouraged their children in all that they did. Though being a farm wife herself, Celia Henkels told her daughter “never marry a farmer,” the younger Henkels recalls.“She loved the farm life, but she wanted us to experience more beyond the farm and have fun.” Anne did just that. Henkels had the luxury of having Keith Place as an adviser at the Heron Lake-Okabena High School FFA chapter; “he was really a guiding force. He encouraged me to get involved.” She actually credits Place and his wife, Julie, for bringing out the best in FFA students. Julie was the English teacher and speech coach at the high school, and a lot of FFA members were also in speech, “so we spent a lot of time at their place.” Henkels participated in speaking and judging contests, as well as holding chapter and district FFA offices. “We had a very active chapter,” she
said. “We just had a friendly competition among us.” That competitive spirit and Keith Place’s encouragement prompted the next logical step in Henkels pursuing a state FFA office. “That was a combination of me following my own goals and his (Place’s) support,” she said. She ran for state FFA office the spring of her freshman year at the University of Minnesota, St. Paul. “That was a really great experience, a learning experience,” she said, admitting that it was challenging as well, juggling the full schedule of being a state officer and being a college student. “I had a lot of support,” she said. “Being on the St. Paul campus, there were a lot of students who were in 4-H and FFA and knew that it was a hectic time. They helped me get through it. ... there were times when I asked myself what the heck I had gotten myself into.” Henkels went on to graduate from the University of Minnesota with a degree in technical communications. Henkels spent some time in Washington, D.C., as an intern for Minnesota’s Third District Rep. Bill Frenzel and Sen. Rudy Boschwitz. She then interned

with Farm Journal magazine before a six-month internship with the European Economic Community, a front-runner to the European Union, Henkels said. That exposure helped land Henkels a job with the European Report, a semi-weekly magazine where she basically covered the EEC’s equivalent of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. After three years with the European Report, she took advantage of a Rotary scholarship to achieve her master’s degree at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in Newcastle, England. She studied international ag trade policy in the one-year master degree program. She finally found her way back to the U.S. Heartland when she went to work for Cargill on the trading floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. After doing that for two years she had had enough and moved into financial planning. After 17 years of living in Chicago, she and husband, Peter Straus (a Chicago native), decided the big city was not the place to raise a family. “There is no place like home,” she said, as she, Peter, Kathryn, 6, and Emma, 4, made the move last year to their current home at Spirit Lake, Iowa. Anne and Peter work together in their home office of Henkels Financial Inc., with their primary focus “with individuals, mainly helping people plan for their kids’ college education and retirement.” — Kevin Schulz, The Land editor

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent Jack Hedin worked as an intern on farms across the country before settling down, and purchasing his own farm, near Rushford in southeastern Minnesota. “I started off doing internships and working on farms for many years when I was young,” Hedin said. “I started out on a small CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) in Massachusetts in 1988. Then I worked on farms in Pennsylvania, California, Wisconsin and Minnesota. I was kind of all over. I was hooked on farming right away but those internships allowed me to develop my own skills to go off and start my own operation.” Hedin and his wife started Featherstone Fruits and Vegetables in 1997. Featherstone Fruits and Vegetables is a 200-acre certified organic farm that produces a wide range of annual and perennial crops for an 850-member CSA and for stores sales in Minneapolis and St. Paul. It is also one of the dozens of Minnesota farms that will employ interns this growing season. Hedin said what he is seeking is more of an employee than an intern. However, opportunities to learn about horticultural agriculture are numerous at Featherstone. “The less experienced people learn by working with more experienced people,” Hedin said. “I do my best to explain what we’re doing every day but we don’t really have educational programs. Curiosity is an important part of a good intern and I appreciate interns that ask questions. But people have to know when to ask their questions. For example, we can’t stop the tractor to answer questions. People have to wait until break.” In February Featherstone Fruits and Vegetables was looking for six interns, or employees. Total employment at the farm during the summer will be around 15 people, Hedin said. Some of the farm’s workers are local people, but for interns and others without homes in the area housing and free fruits and vegetables are provided. Room and board are commonly part of the compensation for farm interns. La Finca Farms, near Bruno, Minn., offers an apartment for its apprentices plus a kitchen and all the vegetables the apprentice can eat. This is in addition to an $800 per month stipend. Charlie Kersey, whose family owns La Finca, has had apprentices on the rural Bruno farm for the last six to seven years. In the past his approach has been similar to Hedin’s. Apprentices at La Finca learned by doing. Kersey calls this type of learning immersion agricultural. But this year he’s adding a basic introductory course on organic agriculture and La Finca’s operations in April, at the beginning of the season’s apprenticeships. La Finca, a 40-acre farm with seven acres dedicated to organic fruit and vegetable production, also provides other learning opportunities. “We eat together every Wednesday,” Kersey said. “We become very close to our interns. We want to help those people who want to move to other opportunities in agriculture to accomplish that.” Kersey said that he has kept in touch with some of

INTERN, from pg. 19A Good references are also very important,” Kersey said. “We’ve never been disappointed in any of our apprentices.” Both La Finca and Featherstone Fruits and Vegetables use the ATTRA website, http://attra.ncat.org, as a resource to find interns or apprentices. ATTRA, which is the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service, currently lists more than 30 intern opportunities in Minnesota and hundreds of them across the country. Most, but not all, of the internships offer a stipend or actual wages. Almost all of the farms raise fruits and vegetables for their primary income. Farms have the opportunity to update their ATTRA internship descriptions. Only 15 of the Minnesota farms had updated their internship description in 2011. ATTRA is only a type of bulletin board and is not involved in any way in the internship relationship. “NCAT (ATTRA’s parent organization) makes no claims concerning the content, accuracy, suitability, intent, comprehensiveness, or availability of the positions posted. It is the responsibility of the prospective intern to take all necessary precautions when interviewing for or accepting positions,” ATTRA writes at its website. Brian Quiring, of Wilder Thymes farm
near Wilder, Minn., also has a listing for three interns at the ATTRA site. “I raise over 500 varieties of chemical-free fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers on plots totaling over 2.5 acres,” Quiring said. “I have a hoop house and various other types of protected growing culture. Our crops are sold at farmers markets and through a growers group to schools, hospitals, restaurants and retail outlets.” Quiring likes ATTRA but he also uses the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms website, www.wwoofusa.org, to find interns. WWOOF currently has 22 Minnesota opportunities listed and, like ATTRA, hundreds of them across the country. WWOOF is an old organization and is different in that it is also an international organization with opportunities around the world. It also costs both the farmer and the potential intern a $20 membership to use the database. WWOOF has worked for Quiring. In mid-March a WWOOF intern was working at his farm and the other farms in his growers group, he said. “I really like the profiles of the interns that are available at the WWOOF site,” he said. The Minnesota Institute for Sustainable Agriculture, www.misa.umn.edu, also occasionally lists internship opportunities.

Magnus: State legislators respect American farmers
FARM DRAINAGE PLOWS, INC. or Wurdinger Tile Plows
when you’re trying to find ways to balance the budget and slow the growth of government. We are going to hold that increase down but realistically we can’t hold it to zero because federal regulations require maintenance on our part which means putting in some state money to match some federal money. Our hands are tied on about 70 percent of the HHS (Health and Human Services) budget.” A saying on the senator’s desk reads: “Did you eat today? THANK A FARMER.” Even though there are many new faces in state

Right now we (Republican Party) have the keys to the car. We need to decide how we’re going to drive the car, how to stay out of the ditch and how to stay out of the left lane also because that’s where most of the financial accidents happen. — Sen. Doug Magnus
government this year, Magnus thinks they do respect farmers. “But it’s up to us to continue to earn that respect. We don’t cry wolf every time something goes wrong. We just get the pliers and baling wire out and fix it. We know we’ve got tough budget problems but we’re willing to step up to the plate and offer some resolution from the ag side. No one wants program cuts but we know that has to happen across the board to make this thing work. “Right now we (Republican Party) have the keys to the car. We need to decide how we’re going to drive the car, how to stay out of the ditch and how to stay out of the left lane also because that’s where most of the financial accidents happen. Right now we have a great opportunity and I’m honored to have that responsibility.” Magnus, a southwest Minnesota farmer (Slayton area) and former four-term state representative (2002-10) now serves as chairman of the Senate Agriculture and Rural Economics Committee. He sees the financial strength of Minnesota agriculture as key to much of the future economic development of the state.
THE LAND, APRIL 1, 2011
By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer “Lots of issues this session but the voters pretty well told us that less government and a balanced budget without increasing taxes is pretty much what they expect from us,” said Sen. Doug Magnus, assistant majority leader, in an exclusive interview with The Land on March Doug Magnus 14. “We’ve got a gung-ho bunch of new faces in both the Senate and the House. They want to make things happen. So consequently we’re moving ahead very quickly on some issues, perhaps too quickly on some areas but we’re making tremendous progress,” Magnus said. “We started this session saying we were going to reduce the size of our committees, and reduce committee assignments so they can be more valuable members of those committees. We believe government needs to be totally transparent so the public can see what’s going on. That was the start right out of the chute.” Magnus reiterated that state government cannot sustain the spending growth it’s been on. “We can’t be everything to everyone. Obamacare, for example, expects the state to spend about $3.6 billion more just in the health care industry as they expand the entitlement base, put more people on various government supports. That’s a tough pill to swallow

Putting agencies on alert: Support businesses MAGNUS, from pg. 21A “We have tremendous agricultural resources here in Minnesota. More people in private industry and government are finally recognizing agriculture as a real giant in our state’s economy. They see the vital importance of keeping our agricultural export programs moving. Our farmers recognize that we have a responsibility to help feed this world and that includes taking care of our domestic needs as well. “I don’t believe we can have a strong Minnesota without a strong agriculture. And that includes having strong trading partners in other parts of the world. We had a Chinese Trade Team in Minnesota early this year. They signed a big agreement to buy soybeans, Minnesota soybeans. I was on an ASA (American Soybean Association) trade team to China in the mid’90s. “At that time, we estimated about 300 million of their population would be moving from the rural areas into the cities and create a new ‘middle class’ in China. When this team visited in January they reminded me we were wrong on our 300 million exodus from rural China. It has been more like 400 million. That’s more than the total population of America. They have better incomes, they live in better housing, they want better food choices.” So how do Minnesota farmers com-

Magnus simply said, “Our Minnesota farmers are early adapters on technology. They’re very innovative. Our Minnesota farmers thrive on competition. “We have a strong infrastructure that needs to get better, especially roads and highways serving rural Minnesota. The federal people need to get serious about upgrading the Mississippi River system. I think the role of government at both state and federal levels is to let our farmers do what they do best without government intervention. Our farmers have the knowledge, the ambition and the expertise to compete with anyone around the world. We’ve got to make certain we don’t put needless rules, permits and environmental constraints on them. Let us farmers do what we know best and we’ll take care of the environment.” He’s positive about a House file (HF 274) and Senate file (SF445), that

Hopefully all gardeners who received hibiscus seeds from me will have success with them. It is best to plant the seeds directly into the garden this spring. Patience is golden in waiting for the seeds to grow. Plants which were planted in recent years show the first growth mid-June or even later, but once they have emerged, ACE OF SPADES these plants grow fast. By Hank Wessels In recent years, we have had many mushrooms grow on our lawn. Where are they coming from? Chances are that there are some rotted tree branches under the mushrooms. Just mow over, and in time they will quit growing on your lawn. I have some maple trees. When should I tap these trees for sugar? Several gardeners have already tapped their trees, but there is no sugar sap running at this time. The return of warm weather will start the process. When is the best time to seed my lawn this spring? Once the ground has warmed up. If the lawn to be seeded is in the shade, be sure to plant seed listed for shaded areas. There also are seeds available for sunny areas. Once the grass emerges, don’t mow until it is at least 3 inches tall. When can I spread corn gluten meal on my lawn for weed control? The best time for this product is the first week in May, followed by a second application the last week in August. We have applied corn gluten meal as late as the first week in October, even after the first snow in the fall. The University of Minnesota recommends 20 pounds per 1,000 feet. This product will control crab grass as well as dandelions on your lawn. You can usually get this product from your area elevators. Is Zoysia grass good to plant in our area? No. The reason is that these plants will not green up until early June and it begins to turn brown by the end of August. It is better suited for the southern part of the United States. Yes, many companies will be advertising this now, but don’t buy it. When should I uncover the tulips and daffodils? These should be uncovered as soon as the snow has melted. As soon as growth of these bulbs begins, be sure to put a fence around them to keep rabbits from eating the leaves and buds. ••• Hank Wessels is a Master Gardener in Watonwan County.

‘Stirring the Pot’ offers a lot of good for what ails you By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Just leafing through the ample selection of recipes in “Stirring the Pot,” a cookbook being sold by Immanuel-St. Joseph’s-Mayo Health System Auxiliary in Mankato, Minn., will inspire you to get in the kitchen. A useful mix of upscale cuisine and down-home cookin’, this book borrows from the creative minds of local chefs and caterers as well as talented home-schooled cooks. It could become your go-to book for food ideas. In other words, there’s something for every eater and every occasion in the clever and classy “Stirring the Pot.” Food is historically important for the ISJMHS Auxiliary — Its very first task in 1919 was to provide canned goods for the hospital. Since then the Auxiliary has raised $1.7 million to support the hospital’s mission, mostly by buying up-to-date medical equipment. Here are some of my favorite recipes. ■ Start a special breakfast spread with the sweetand-salty flavors of Glazed Pepper Bacon. I like to use a heavy hand with the pepper on half the batch

Freshly ground pepper 1/2 cup packed brown sugar Line a jelly roll pan, or two pans if pans are small, with foil. Arrange bacon slices on foil without overlapping. Grind black pepper generously over the top of the bacon. Sprinkle all of the brown sugar on top. Bake in a 350 F oven for 25-30 minutes. Do not flip bacon over, but you may want to pour off some grease halfway through the baking time. When bacon is browned and almost crisp, transfer individual strips to a cooling rack. Do not stack bacon on a platter as the hot bacon will stick together. ■ With Goof Proof Caramel Rolls, you mix up a few simple ingredients, stick them in a cold oven to rise before you go to bed, and finish them off in a flash the next morning.

When casinos first started popping up in Minnesota I remember the Sunday afternoon conversation of my parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts. There was a debate if they were going to check it out or do a personal boycott, forgoing a first-time visit. Word on the street was that casinos were a waste of money, but could possibly be justified by even the most outstanding citizens for their economical buffets. One aunt was adamantly against it. Another one thought she might go once. She then addressed my farmer father and said, “Is this any different than farming? You people gamble everyday!”

There are certainly not any guarantees with farming. Sunshine and rain are not ours to control. Nor is the price of grain. Dad reminded his sister, who knew better, but was trying to get a rise out of him, that all things are in God’s control. Then in jest he said something to the affect that he was going for broke. Go for broke. It’s a familiar phrase among farmers making decisions about equipment, expanding or other expenditures. “Might as well go for broke,” they say. I asked my farmer hubby, Mike, how he processed the phrase “Go for broke” and he said, “That’s what I’m working on I think.”

Go for broke took on a brand new meaning for me recently when Bob Goff tweeted, “We can’t be stingy about the way we love people; go for broke.” Goff is the founder and chief executive officer of Restore International, a non-profit organization that was established to address the atrocities and injustices committed against children. He lives what he writes and certainly is going for broke in the way he speaks up and loves those who cannot speak for themselves. Mary McLeod Bethune went for broke loving people. She was the youngest of 17 children who desired to be a missionary, but was turned down. Instead of seeing the shut door, she opened a window and started a school instead. Students used boxes for desks and elderberries for ink. To raise needed funds, Mary and her students hauled thousands of pounds of garbage for a local dump owner. President Franklin Roosevelt honored her by naming her the first African-American woman ever to be a presidential adviser. Amy Carmichael was a teenager when she made the decision to go for broke loving people. While she was sipping tea and sweet treats with her mother in a Belfast tea shop, she noticed a face pressed against the window. At first she thought it was cute, a little girl peeking in at the goodies. When she left the tea shop, her heart broke. It was raining outside and the little girl’s dress was thin and dirty. Shocked, Carmichael saw that she didn’t have any shoes. That night she went in her bedroom and wrote a short poem: When I grow up and money have, I know what I will do, I’ll build a great big lovely place For little girls like you. At the age of 28 Carmichael set sail for the country of India to fulfill that dream. In 1901 in South India she built a place called The Dohnavur Fellowship, that to this day continues the work that she began of rescuing babies and children from situations and backgrounds of extreme danger.

Many pets are affected by spring allergies, so be on the lookout for signs of discomfort.

Your veterinarian can develop a customized treatment plan for your pet so the itch can be alleviated. “Treatments are tailored to the individual based on the extent, severity and seasonality of signs,” Patterson said. “The ‘absolutes’ of therapy include: routine bathing to remove pollen accumulation, infection control (topical and/or systemic) and flea prevention.”

“An itch may be manifested as licking, chewing, biting, rubbing, scratching, head shaking, and/or scooting,” Patterson said. “Every pet has its own itch tolerance which means the intensity and reason(s) for your pet’s itch may not be the same as another animal.”
Allergies are more common in pets than most people believe. Ten percent of the canine population is affected by allergies. It is important to be aware of the allergic signs and notify a veterinarian when the symptoms persist.

Grain Outlook Livestock Angles China rumors Livestock futures keep corn moving accelerate up
See EMSLIE, pg. 2B
The livestock markets are still alive and well — and may continue as long as export markets live up to all the hype that has propelled enthusiasm as of late. Following the tragic events in Japan, livestock futures have accelerated to higher levels on the belief that U.S. livestock products will be needed for protein, increasing demand in the near future. The cattle market has vaulted recently to new all-time highs as packers moved quickly to acquire cattle as high as $120 per hundredweight live basis the Midwest. This began an immediate buying spree in the futures which propelled them sharply higher toward the recent highs. The JOE TEALE interesting thing about this Broker recent upward swing in the mar- Great Plains Commodity ket is the fact that domestic Afton demand is declining as the beef cutouts move higher. The only consistent demand domestically seems to be lean beef, which has continued to find good interest. Overall, the beef cutout has met resistance near the $190/cwt. level and boxed beef movement has decreased substantially, indicating a weakening domestic demand. To support any further price appreciation the export market will have to meet all the expectations that have been prognosticated. Expect the volatility to remain extreme as more and more speculation enters the market. Prices are likely to move higher in the short term, but as the price moves higher the demand for beef is likely to shrink in response.

If corn is unable to be planted in a timely fashion, more soybeans may be planted.

Editor’s Note: Tim Emslie, Country Hedging market analyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nystrom, the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist. ■ This market analysis was written for the marketing week ending March 25. CORN — Hints of possible Chinese corn purchases kept the corn market on edge for much of the week. After the rumor first broke late during the previous week, the lack of confirmation early in the week caused prices to retreat. When the weekly sales report did not contain any sales to China, speculation turned to the possibilTIM EMSLIE ity that China had made an Country Hedging St. Paul optional origin purchase. On Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported a 1 million metric ton sale for the current marketing year to an unknown destination that many immediately assumed was China. There really is no one else in the marketplace that would have interest in a corn purchase of that quantity. China has already imported 300,000 metric tons during the current marketing year, so if this million tons were actually to ship to China yet this year, the total for the year would exceed the 1 mmt currently estimated by the USDA. The daily sales announcement also included 250,000 mt for the 2011-12 marketing year. Weekly ethanol production jumped 2 percent from the previous week to 38.4 million gallons per day, the second-highest total on record. Ethanol’s discount to

Brazilian soybean harvest 56 percent complete EMSLIE, from pg. 1B Reformulated Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending gasoline is at 54 cents, incentivizing demand for ethanol. Funds have reduced their net long position by nearly 110,000 contracts over the last three weeks, making the market structure more balanced. Ethanol blending margins are at the highest level since last summer. The March Hog & Pigs report showed inventory at 101 percent of last year, slightly above expectations. OUTLOOK: Corn has rallied sharply since the talk of China buying corn first surfaced. The nearby contract is up 13.4 percent from the midMarch low to the settlement on March 25. December corn made a new high at the end of the week at $6.24, before pulling back on some profit taking. The nearby contract was up just 6 cents for the week. Look for the market to be well-supported ahead of the March 31 reports. The USDA’s stocks and acreage reports will be the focus of the market over the next week. The average trade guess for corn acreage is 91.75 million acres, up from last year but down just slightly from the USDA’s February Outlook Forum guess of 92 million acres. Our survey and analysis shows the potential for somewhat higher corn acres. We are estimating the March intentions number at 92.6 million acres. Stocks as of March 1 will be critically important to fundamental analysis of usage patterns as always. The average trade guess is for 6,688 million bushels. Our estimate is
somewhat smaller at 6,595 million bushels. We see the potential for 10 percent higher feed usage versus the same quarter last year due to a return to more normal usage patterns. Implied usage patterns for 2009-10 were distorted by the apparent difficulty in estimating stocks because of the unusual crop quality and harvest conditions. Look for resistance ahead of the report at the new weekly high in December corn at $6.24, with support at $5.50. SOYBEANS — Nearby soybeans were down 4 1/4 cents this week, while November beans were up 16 1/4 cents. South American harvest is progressing, and although it’s still wetter in parts of Brazil than they would like, the situation did not worsen this week. Brazilian harvest is 56 percent complete, ahead of the five-year average of 49 percent. Oil World reduced its Brazilian production estimate by 1 mmt on the excessive rains that have fallen. The February crush came in just slightly below expectations at 129.4 million bushels. Soybean crushing tailed off quite sharply in February. The 129.4 million bushels is an 18 percent decline from last February. For the first five months of the soybean marketing year, the crush is now behind last year by 7.4 percent. The current USDA estimate is for about a 6 percent decline. Oil profitability will have to drive the crush total domestically over the remainder of the marketing year. Weekly export sales were unremarkable at 9.8 million bushels as South

Hog and pig report released TEALE, from pg. 1B cated that beef supplies again increased brings evidence that beef demand is slowing as the price rises. The competitive meats such as pork and chicken will also play a factor in the months ahead as household budgets are squeezed due to ever increasing costs of commodities and the inflation that is developing. Therefore, producers should continue to protect inventories against any adverse price movements in the future. One reminder: what goes up eventually comes down. The hog market has seen a price rally somewhat similar to the cattle market in recent weeks. Cash prices have slowly advanced as packers work to accumulate live inventory, indicating the projected increase in the demand for pork product. The export market has been good so far this year and with the tragedy in Japan, the expectation that these exports will go in relation to that tragedy to meet the needs of the Japanese people. On March 25, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the Quarterly Hogs
and Pigs Report.The results are as follows: All hogs and pigs on March 1, 101 percent; kept for breeding, 100 percent; and kept for marketing, 101 percent. The December to February pig crop was pegged at 101 percent with the pigs per litter at 102 percent. The report indicates that the hog herd is remaining fairly stable. The short-term outlook according to the report would suggest that the immediate number of hogs is adequate, and that over the longer term there may be a decline in numbers based on farrowing intentions. As with the cattle there has been plenty of speculation over a suspected increase in export demand. Given the high premiums in the futures prices, should this export demand fail to materialize, the hog market would be extremely vulnerable to a drastic pullback in prices. Until that fact is known, it is likely we will see higher prices in the near-term as speculation continues to dominate the market. Producers should be cognizant of these events and continue to take a cautious approach to the hog market and be willing to protect their inventories.
Iowa land values soar NEHER, from pg. 1B land is increasing in value at a rate of 4 percent a month. A survey from Iowa Farm and Land Institute indicates that Iowa farmland values soared more than 25 percent for the year from March 1, 2010, to March 1, 2011. In the past month, statewide land values have increased by 20 percent. This is a new record for land appreciation in Iowa. The only comparable years were 1973 to 1975, when Iowa State University’s land survey reported 30 percent annual increases. Yet, if we look at these increases in the light of inflation in 1973 to 1975; rates were at 9 percent. When we compare this to the 2010 inflation rates of 1.6 percent, this shows the strength of our current rally in land prices. One of the major differences between the land markets in the 1970s and today is the cost of interest. We have gone from
double-digit interest rates to single digit rates today. Another difference is that buyers today are coming to the auctions with cash on hand versus only putting 20 percent as a down payment during the mid-1970s. This puts the buyers in a stronger position to withstand shortterm downturns in the grain production economy. The major factor that land value observers should track is the cost of interest on borrowed money. When interest rates rally, this will put the brakes on land value appreciation. During times of volatility, the strength of one’s reserves are the “shock absorbers” that allow one to keep their businesses on track when the “black swan” swims through our economy. The building and maintenance of working capital will be a key Grain Angle in the next few years as volatility plays havoc with our markets.

February cheese stocks decline ‘uncharacteristic’ DAIRYLINE, from pg. 3B “Clearly dairy farmers have seen the signals in their milk checks to produce more milk,” Ledman said. “They’re going to get a big signal in April to produce more milk even though the cheese market has turned, farmers will still have that market signal to produce more milk in April and May.” Twenty-five carloads of block cheese changed hands Monday, with the price dropping 3.5 cents, to $1.65/lb., but Ledman called it a “silver lining,” because several buyers purchased the cheese, not just one or two. The $1.65/lb. may not be a “strong line in the sand,” she said, but “it’s clearly a level of support with so many buys coming in at this level.” She didn’t anticipate much more of a decline and, over the course of the new few weeks, the 5-cent block-barrel spread will return to more normal levels. The cash butter price, after dropping almost a nickel the previous Friday, lost a penny on Monday, gained it back Thursday, and added a half-cent Friday. That’s a strong price, the highest ever for this time of the year, Ledman said. It’s “consistent with where the world markets are and if there’s one thing that we’ve learned this past year is that it’s not just the nonfat dry milk market that’s tied to the global market, it’s really the butterfat market as well.” She believes it will trade above $2 until the Easter-Passover buy is in but, by mid-April, she anticipates a downturn because of “the significant quantity of milk in the flush period that will probably push the butter market below $2.” She doesn’t, however, expect a major correction like what we saw in the cheese market.
■ Checking the cupboard, February butter stocks totaled 138.7 million pounds, up 19.9 million pounds or 17 percent from January, but 64.2 million pounds or 32 percent below February 2010, according to preliminary data in the ag department’s latest Cold Storage report issued Tuesday afternoon. American cheese stocks, at 622.2 million pounds, were down 15.7 million pounds, or 2 percent from January, but 23 million or 4 percent above a year ago. Total cheese amounted to 1.036 billion pounds, down 16.4 million pounds or 2 percent from January, but 40 million or 4 percent above a year ago. The Daily Dairy Report said the decline is “uncharacteristic” for February and blamed “historically high prices” for “discouraging manufacturers and marketers from building inventory during what is normally a time to put cheese away.” ■ In other industry news, the Cooperatives Working Together program assisted in the export of 286,601 pounds of Cheddar cheese to customers of Dairy Farmers of America and Darigold in Asia. The product will be delivered April through June and pushed the CWT’s 2011 cheese exports to 19.1 million pounds so far. ■ Speaking of trade, importers of dairy products will start paying the promotion assessment. The ag department finalized its long-awaited regulations. The National Milk Producers Federation lobbied for its inclusion in the 2002 farm bill but it was blocked due to objections that the domestic checkoff was not applied to farms in all 50 states. The Federation worked with Congress to correct that in the 2008

bill, however regulations were slow in coming. National Milk’s Chris Galen said “it’s been a 10-year process and we’re finally at the end of the road.” The first phase is April 1 implementation of the 15cent-per-hundredweight assessment on producers in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Importers will begin paying in August, Galen said, and include milk protein concentrate, casein and cheese but will only pay 7.5 cents per hundredweight. “This is really an issue of justice,” Galen said. “For too long, imported dairy products and those who bring them into this country have enjoyed a growing market.” He pointed to cheese as an example, stating that, in the roughly 30 years since the domestic checkoff began, cheese consumption has more than doubled. “So importers and imported cheeses in particular, have benefited from that but expansion has come on the backs of U.S. farmers, not their counterparts in other countries, so finally we’re going to be able to do something about it.” Critics charge that imports will now be able to use the “Real Seal” and foreign dairy products will be included in promotional efforts. Galen said that foreign products must be treated the same as U.S. products but argued, “the amount of money that we’re talking about is hardly like we’re going to be overwhelmed by a bunch of foreign interests dominating how the National Dairy Board is run.” He also cited other commodities like beef, pork and cotton that have assessed imports and have not found that doing so was detrimental to their promotions. “This is still going to be a program that focuses on dairy products overall and you also have to look at what’s happening with the dairy checkoff here in this country,” he said. “It’s really not about advertisSee DAIRYLINE, pg. 5B

Minnesota hog inventory up 7 percent over 2010 Minnesota hog producers had an inventory of 7.6 million hogs and pigs on March 1, up 7 percent from last year, but down 1 percent from the Dec. 1, 2010, figure. Breeding hogs totaled 560,000 head, up 2 percent from a year earlier and market hogs and pigs at 7.04 million head, were up 7 percent from a year ago. December-February pig crop up 10 percent Minnesota’s December to February pig crop totaled 2.89 million head, up 10 percent from a year earlier and up 2 percent from the September to November pig crop. The 285,000 sows that farrowed averaged 10.15 pigs per litter, up from 9.90 a year ago. March-May and June-August intentions Hog producers in Minnesota intend to farrow 285,000 sows during the March to May 2011 quarter. If realized, this would be up 2 percent from actual sows farrowed during the same period a year earlier. Producers also intend to farrow 295,000 sows during the June to August 2011 quarter. If realized, this would be up 5 percent from actual sows farrowed during the same period in 2010. U.S. hog inventory up 1 percent U.S. inventory of all hogs and pigs on March 1 was
64.0 million head. This was up 1 percent from March 1, 2010, but down 1 percent from Dec. 1, 2010. Breeding inventory, at 5.79 million head, was up slightly from last year, and up slightly from the previous quarter. Market hog inventory, at 58.2 million head, was up 1 percent from last year, but down 1 percent from last quarter. The December to February pig crop, at 28.0 million head, was up 1 percent from 2010 but down 2 percent from 2009. Sows farrowing during this period totaled 2.86 million head, down 1 percent from 2010 and down 5 percent from 2009. The sows farrowed during this quarter represented 49 percent of the breeding herd. The average pigs saved per litter was a record high 9.80 for the December to February period, compared to 9.61 last year. Pigs saved per litter by size of operation ranged from 7.50 for operations with one to 99

hogs and pigs to 9.90 for operations with more than 5,000 hogs and pigs. Revisions All inventory and pig crop estimates for June 2009 through December 2010 were reviewed using final pig crop, official slaughter, death loss and updated import and export data. Based on the findings of this review, an adjustment of slightly more than 1 percent was made to the September 2010 total inventory. An adjustment of less than one half of 1 percent was made to the December 2010 total inventory. An adjustment of more than 1 percent was made to the June to August 2010 pig crop. ••• This article was submitted by the Minnesota field office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Measurement, management needed more than just at tax time As the 2010 tax season comes to a close for most farmers and we look for lessons that can be learned for the 2011 marketing year, the questions can outnumber the answers. As a manager of a farm business you know that income tax results, by themselves, are not adequate forms of measurement for your business in a given year to effectively manage your business. Everyone uses different benchmarks for measurement. The key to measurement is consistency. Measuring the same variables with common benchmarks over time can give us the data to make good management decisions. Changes in net worth from one balance sheet to another on a regular basis (annual) can serve as one tool for measuring business success.Another tool is determining the cost of each unit of production, whether bushels or hundredweight, and breakdown the components of that cost. Marketing plans, whether milk, beef, hogs, poultry or crops, require forward planning and historical data of those measured variables. Break-even prices from past years, historical trends and adjustments for the anticipated changes for 2011 can begin to form the outline to any marketing plan and goal setting session. The ability to check a working plan compared to actual income and expenses maintains the integrity of the
process of planning. A cash flow projection can serve as a measurement tool for the 2011 year as well. Cash accounting of all income and expenses allows you to keep the business on track by cross-checking income and expenses on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. So what does your management plan look like? What management tools do you utilize in your business that guide your management decisions? Developing and maintaining a balance sheet, completing a business analysis with break-even costs for each commodity produced, and finally, developing a cash flow projection that involves a method of cash accounting to compare projected to actual on a regular basis, are keys to a strong management plan, not just when taxes are due. Putting all these components of measurement in place can take time and may seem daunting even though we can agree that the results would be well worth it. The Farm Business Management Program teaches about the components of a management plan.

Perception of change often a generational thing The Webster’s dictionary has several definitions for the word “change.” A few that stick out are to fix, swap, alter, adjust, evolve, modify and revise. It is certain that each one of us views change from a different perspective. While the rate and degree of change varies considerably in all operations, it is inevitable that all operations and the managers operating them do in fact change. The two biggest factors affecting the rate and degree of change are personality and age. Many producers embrace change and see the solutions for most future problems. They are the producers who want to look ahead to the upcoming year, and jump right into the cash flow projections. Why waste time and effort looking backwards and doing an analysis of the past year? All communities have their fair share of innovators. These producers are the first to try genetically modified crops, variable rate fertilization and sexed semen. By nature they will be happiest exploring new adventures and if they should get knocked down they simply get up, brush their clothes off and look for the next adventure. Other producers need undeniable proof that something will succeed before they adjust or modify their operations. They would not think of doing a cash flow projection until an analysis of the past year has been completely digested. The best of these operators watch our innovators closely and may even in fact admire them. When the innovators fail, this group of producers does not cheer and sneer, but glean the best ideas for careful incorporation into their own operations. Whether we like it or not, age certainly will impact our perception of change. The 30-year-old operator is much more likely to embrace change. Perhaps because the operator does not have a lot of hay to lose yet, or perhaps because there is a lifetime of work ahead to correct the miscue, but mak-
ing changes is generally easier for a younger farmer. The 50-year-old producer has more than likely at least started to think in terms of equity preservation and is reluctant to jeopardize the lifetime of equity now at his disposal. These differences often can cause some major fireworks in multiple-generation operations. Perhaps if we can begin to understand why there are differences it may be easier to understand the other perspective. Even those of us not involved in multiple-
MARKETING
generation operations can learn from the recognition of differences. At the least understanding why we all have a different perspective may keep the coffee shop chatter just a little bit more neighborly.

Use debt wisely to build your business With commodity prices showing some signs of positive returns on most farming enterprises, I have had a number of students ask me where to stash some of that extra cash. Beyond building working capital, most producers have either considered paying down debt or borrowing additional debt to make capital purchases. While we need to be cautious in our approach toward debt, we also need to realize its role in our business. On one hand, an overwhelming insistence on becoming and remaining debt-free can be a major obstacle to growth and profitability. We often confuse being debt-free with financial security. However, improper use of debt can and does kill a business. Our first lesson is to understand the difference between economics and finance. In economics the issue is profit. In finance, the issue is cash flow. If economics is the engine of the business, then finance is the fuel that makes the business go. When a business is profitable, it pays to leverage our money through borrowing. When the business is unprofitable, borrowing only increases the loss.

much leverage can leave a business overly vulnerable to risk. The degree of leverage that is reasonably safe depends on the risk of investment. Before plunging into any major decisions, you should review your solvency and profitability ratios and develop a projected cash flow budget. Solvency tells us the degree to which a business is leveraged and indicates a business’ ability to withstand risk. Profitability tells us the strength of the economic engine that drives the business. The projected cash flow budget tells us how the debt will be repaid. The moral of the story: if the business is economically sound, it can be more profitable by borrowing judiciously, but it must be profitable and it must cash flow. For long-term security, economics come first. For additional information on determining ratios and preparing a cash flow plan, the Farm Business Management Program and a list of instructors near you can be found at www.fbm.mnscu.edu. ••• This article was submitted by Nate Converse, Central Lakes College Farm Business Management instructor at Little Falls, Minn.

Report: Food prices to rise 4 percent as ag recovers Food prices could increase by more than 4 percent in 2011 as the farm sector recovers from a sharp downturn in the recession, University of Missouri economists reported to Congress. An annual MU Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute baseline shows net farm income may reach a record $99 billion in 2011. The MU FAPRI presented the report to legislators March 7. “After two years of very subdued U.S. food price inflation, food prices may
increase by 4.2 percent,” said Pat Westhoff, director of MU FAPRI. “Projected food inflation drops to 2 percent, a level matching overall inflation, after 2012.” Food prices will rise not only from higher prices paid at the farm level for food grains and livestock, but also recent increases in energy costs. Oil prices affect not only costs in agricultural production but also for transportation and processing up the supply

chain, Westhoff said. During baseline preparation, oil prices jumped from $88 per barrel to more than $100 in recent days. Higher prices for grain, oilseed and cotton led the farm economic recovery. “U.S. stocks of corn, soybeans and cotton are very low relative to use in 2010-11,” Westhoff said. “Tight supplies have contributed to higher prices. U.S. wheat supplies are not as low, but wheat prices are supported by corn prices and strong export demand.” Use of ethanol, a fuel distilled mostly from corn, has increased rapidly, but may dip if fuel tax credits expire as scheduled at the end of 2011. Higher feed and other input costs along with lower prices during the recession lowered output of meat and milk. At the same time, domestic and international demand remained strong. “Reduced production, growing exports and population growth combine to limit supplies of meat and milk for domestic consumers,” said Scott Brown, FAPRI livestock economist. “Tight supplies and improving demand initiated price increases in 2010. “Prices will strengthen for fed steers, feeder calves and hogs,” Brown said. Higher prices at the farm will lead to much higher prices for meat and dairy products for consumers. High oil prices add to the costs of moving from farm to feedlots to supermarkets. MU FAPRI warned that tight supplies could lead to volatility in commodity prices. “For example, an unexpected drop in U.S. corn yields in 2010 led to the rapid increase in world corn prices,” Westhoff said. “With stocks limited, a lot depends on the 2011 corn yields. Prices could be much higher — or lower — than our projections.” MU FAPRI projects corn prices at $5.32 per bushel for the 2010-11 crop and $5.03 for the 2011-12 crop. The previous record was $4.20/bu. for the crop harvested in 2007. The baseline assumption is that present farm policies remain in place and that normal weather produces trendline yields. Biofuel tax credits and tariffs are assumed to expire on schedule. This means, for example, that the current credit to ethanol blenders of 45 cents per gallon would be gone by January. For soybean prices, China remains the driving force. In the past, China’s imports grew at the same rate as Brazilian exports, said the MU economists. Now, Chinese imports are growing faster. This boosts U.S

soybean demand and world prices. MU FAPRI projects soybean average prices at $11.70/bu. for 2010-11 and $12.53 for 2011-12. Prices are expected to remain strong through the 10-year baseline. With strong prices, more land will be drawn into crop production. FAPRI reports the area for the 13 major crops will increase almost 8 million acres to top 258 million acres in 2011. Percentagewise, upland cotton acreage increases the most, up from 10.77 million acres to 12.35 million acres. “As world demand bounced back from the recession, cotton prices surged,” Westhoff said. Continued strong demand is expected to keep cotton prices high in 2011-12. On the livestock side, beef production will be the lowest since 2005, as livestock compete for land. As production drops, the demand, particularly internationally, continues to grow. “Beef exports are up nearly 1.5 billion pounds over five years ago,” Brown said. “The profit outlook brightens in 2012, as economic recovery propels beef demand.” Boxed beef cutout price projected at $1.57 per pound in 2010 could hit $1.80 in 2012. Hog prices are expected to continue to climb in 2011. However, higher feed costs will drop returns back toward break-even, Brown said. Profits should return to hog farms in 2012 and 2013 as reduced supplies of all meats support prices. The hog price should average near $60 per hundredweight for those years. That’s up from $55 in 2010. Dairy farmers face dropping fluid milk consumption, a long-term trend. However, cheese consumption recovered last year, up a half-pound per person. Per capita consumption is pegged at 35.7 pounds by 2020, up 1.6 pounds from 2011. Economic recovery and strong international demand will support prices. However, feed costs keep milk returns at historically low levels. Milk cow numbers are expected to drop before recovering by 2020, the end of the baseline. The baseline presented to Congress will be used to study the economic impact of proposed policy changes, including the 2012 farm bill. “Because of budget constraints, we did not develop a joint 2011 baseline with colleagues at Iowa State University and other institutions,” Westhoff said. “MU FAPRI is solely responsible for the projections.” ••• This article was submitted by the University of Missouri Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute.
Economist: Trio of factors pushing food prices higher Weather has played havoc with food production, as well. Drought devastated Russia’s 2010 wheat crop, leading Moscow to ban wheat exports. Freezing temperatures this winter cut into Mexico’s production of tomatoes and bell peppers. Storms have battered the sugar industry, sending prices to more than double what they were in 2009. “Brazil didn’t have a great crop,” Alexander said. “Add on top of that Australia, the third largest exporter of sugar in the world. Queensland, which is their sugar-growing area, had massive floods and then got hit by a cyclone.” Not all the news is bad for consumers. Milk production remains high, despite the poor prices dairy producers are receiving. The total amount the average U.S. family spends on food continues to be about 10 percent of their take-home income, compared with 40 percent to 50 percent in developing countries such as Bangladesh. “When you see massive food price inflation and food is half of your family’s budget, it hurts substantially more,” Alexander said. ••• This article was submitted by the Purdue University Agricultural Communications Department.

Corn and soybeans are used for food products, animal feed and in biofuels production, while wheat is the principal ingredient in breads and cereals. Since mid-2010, corn futures prices have more than doubled to more than $7 per bushel and could exceed the $7.65 record set in 2008. Soybean prices are up 40 percent from one year ago, to just over $13 a bushel. Wheat futures have risen more than 50 percent since this past July, to $7.75/bu.
